I'm a beginner but I don't see why flannel wouldn't work. I have been thinking about using fleece for batting. It will lay flat very nicely so I am going to try it.

The bear is all finished. The flannel worked great. It's a nice heft and the stitching went well. I didn't want to have to use a walking foot because of the many sharp turns on the applique pieces. The thickness of the flannel allowed me to use my regular foot.

Wonderful bear ! I've used flannel as a batting. Had no problems with it.

Beautiful picture - nice job. Don't see why flannel wouldn't work. I quilted a wall hanging for a friend that had flannel for batting and it worked just fine.
